• Japanese people use 10-day periods called jun (旬). Each month is divided roughly into three 10-day periods:
  • The first (from the 1st to the 10th) is jōjun (上旬, upper jun)
  • The second (from the 11th to the 20th), chūjun (中旬, middle jun)
  • The last (from the 21st to the end of the month), gejun (下旬, lower jun).
• These are frequently used to indicate approximate times, for example, "the temperatures are typical of the jōjun of April"; "a vote on a bill is expected during the gejun of this month."

• practice - sketch or paint your ideas in a safe place until you're more comfortable with them, before transferring them to the canvas.
• imagine the worst case scenario - then think of ways you would deal with it if it happened. Play around with it and become comfortable with the idea of tackling problems.
• check in with your body - notice where you are feeling tension. Do some movement to counter it: go for a walk, dance, etc.
• talk to someone - find someone reassuring to talk to and let yourself be vulnerable with them.
• be spiritual - in whatever way works for you. Spend time in nature, connecting with deities, etc. Open yourself up to seeing things in a new way.

• honour your pace - it doesn't matter if you don't create every day, or for 5 minutes at a time. It doesn't matter if it takes you months to finish a piece. Take the time to watch your creation unfold.
• deliberately limit your supplies - if you become overwhelmed, pare back to just a few supplies or a limited colour palette.
• try new supplies & techniques - if you feel in a rut, try something new. A new technique, art form, media, colour. Go somewhere different.
• let go of expectations - all artists have off days. There's no need to judge your work or how you're feeling when you're creating it. Just go with the flow.
• listen to your body - maybe you need to stretch, maybe you feel like singing or yelling or dancing, maybe you want to curl into a ball. Try it!

• use high-quality ingredients in cooking. Spend as much money on food as you would on clothes or beauty products. Eat 100g meat every night without bread or rice. Drink a glass of red wine every night.
• think and create. Work on creating something and learning every day.
• be curious about the world. Keep a diary of new things you have learned or would like to find out about.

from here

• how to recover after not enough sleep by Nessbow
  • drink at least 1 lt water before leaving the house.
  • use a rich moisturising cream, especially around the eye area.
  • use a brightening moisturiser or concealer, especially if you have under-eye circles or bags.
  • use a light tinted moisturiser rather than foundation to avoid caking. Concentrate on areas with redness.
  • if you have acne, use a waxy concealer and finish with sheer powder.
  • use light, neutral makeup. A taupe or grey eyeshadow will conceal any veins or redness. Pink or tangerine lipgloss will brighten the look.
  • go to bed early the following night!
